WA Gov. signs 'Strippers' Bill of Rights' into law, paving way for alcohol sales

New rules are coming to strip clubs that could make work conditions safer for dancers and eventually allow alcohol sales at these businesses.

Gov. Jay Inslee signed SB 6105 into law on Monday. The legislation was sponsored by Sen. Rebecca Saldana (D-Seattle) and it requires a series of worker protections for dancers, eliminates lewd conduct rules for establishments that serve alcohol, and creates a path for adult entertainment businesses to get liquor licenses.

“It's pretty simple why we are passing this bill. These are working folks and working people deserve safety in the environment in which they work,” the governor said.
